Ubi Kayu @ Cassava
The cassava tree is a plant with a fragile and easily broken stem. The stem is round and jagged due to the former base of the leaf stalk. The middle of the stem has a cork. Cassava trees usually reach a height of up to 4 meters. It is easy to grow and to take care. This tree can be grown using stem cuttings. The skin of the cassava stem contains tannins, peroxide enzymes, glycosides and calcium oxalate. Its use is that during the Japanese rule in Malaya, cassava became the food of choice after rice supply was difficult to obtain. It is also a favorite food during the monsoon season. Cassava can be boiled, baked, fried, made into chips and traditional confectionery. In addition to the edible tuber, the leaves and parts of the cassava plant are also useful for us. A piece of cassava stem boiled with 3 glasses of water until it boils, then filtered and drunk twice a day (morning and evening) is believed to relieve fever.
Ubi Gadong
The yam is a poisonous plant and the only wild plant that can survive in any weather conditions. It can live for many years and is very difficult to die. In fact, these tubers can be eaten but must be used in the right way. Its content grows in the soil like cassava and sweet potato. Its shape is quite round and has thin, hard skin. The skin is yellowish brown and the inside is whitish yellow. However, when the tuber is too old and the skin has turned green, it contains a high quantity of poison.
